The Hypocrisy of Free Software FoundationMarch 3rd, 2008 To join "Free" Software Foundation which preaches that all software should be free you are forced to pay at least 120$ per year. My simple question for FSF & Richard Stallman is:
Why should we pay to join "Free" software foundation?
When software (which requires human labor which costs money) should be free, as they preach, then why not services (which also costs human labor and money to provide)?
